Full Moon's Classic Family Film Classic Comes to Blu-ray for the FIRST TIME!
Legendary
horror and dark fantasy film studio Full Moon - founded by
producer/director Charles Band in 1989 - is world-renowned for wild
films like PUPPET MASTER, CASTLE FREAK, SUBSPECIES, EVIL BONG and many,
many more. But nestled among Full Moon's vast entertainment universe
sits Moonbeam Entertainment, the beloved 1990s imprint that housed
Band's series of imaginative (and successful) fantasy films.
Beginning
in 1993 and continuing well into the late 1990s, Band's Moonbeam
Entertainment released dozens of remarkable (and hugely popular) horror,
sci-fi and fantasy movies made for children and families. Now, Full
Moon is thrilled to be bringing back many of those marvelous pictures
from the Moonbeam library, starting with the film that started it all: PREHYSTERIA!
Anticipating
the success of JURASSIC PARK, this 1993 VHS-era favorite follows the
misadventures of Jerry Taylor (Austin O'Brien, THE LAST ACTION HERO), a
12 year old Elvis-loving kid and his sister Monica (Samantha Mills),
whose raisin farmer dad Frank (Brett Cullen, GHOST RIDER) accidentally
brings home a bundle of rare eggs unearthed in the rainforest by Rico
Sarno (Stephen Lee, DOLLS), an sinister museum curator. Suddenly, the
eggs hatch, unleashing a pack of diminutive dinosaurs that the kids name
after their favorite rock and pop music stars - Elvis, Jagger, Madonna,
Paula and...Hammer (Hey, it WAS the '90s after all!). But when Sarno
finds out about the dinos, he'll stop at nothing to get his hands on
them and its up to Jerry and Monica to protect their new "family".
This
wild and hilarious comedy/fantasy classic features top-notch
stop-motion special effects by the great David Allen (PUPPET MASTER,
LASERBLAST) and is ready to be embraced by a new generation of children
and kids of all ages looking for charming, eccentric retro-genre
entertainment. Full Moon is pleased to present PREHYSTERIA in a
remastered, high-definition transfer taken from the original 35mm camera
negative. Come and spend some time with the world's oldest party
animals!
